I grew up in the upper Midwest, I got used to "our idea" of extreme cold, but it wasn't quite as bad as what you've got going on up there! -45C had to be unreal. We never got quite that cold. I remember we usually got wind chills deep in the negatives, and everything broke down, but nothing quite that bad. We'd see maybe -20 to -30C wind chills at worst.
When I moved down to the Appalachian region, they all told us that "winter storms were uncommon" and that they "didn't get a lot of snow". 3 years in, and I can confirm that this was a lie. We're sitting under nearly a foot of snow with another load on the way tomorrow. It's been like this every winter since I've been here, maybe I brought it with me.
It's not as snowy as it was back up north, but it's still significant. I like some snow and cold weather, though. Having seasons is important to me, I wouldn't be happy in a place with summer all year.
